I am having this problem with my DJGPP C compiler (gcc-2721):

Suppose I have a source file foo.c, and in the file it says

  #include "bar.h"

where bar.h is a header file.  In this header file, bar.h, it says

  #include "baz.h"

Now, when I run the preprocessor using "gcc" or "cpp", I will get an
error message like this:

  In file included from foo.c:LINE_NUMBER:
  bar.h:LINE_NUMBER: baz.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

I get this error message _even when the file baz.h actually does
exist_.  I don't understand this.  I tried reading the preprocessor
info file, and it has a section on this "nesting" of #include's but
nothing is mentioned about any problems you could have.  Please help
me.

Advth'xance,
Daniel
